Kelly Tshibaka is doing very well in Alaska, probably leading horrendously bad Senator Lisa Murkowski, a Republican (barely!). The Democrat has no chance, and yet the Old Broken Crow, Mitchell McConnell, is authorizing $9 Million Dollars to be spent in order to beat a great Republican, Kelly, instead of $9 Million Dollars that could be used for Blake Masters, and other Republicans, that with this money would beat their Democrat opponent. Isn’t it ironic?

Overview

Trump attacks Mitch McConnell for spending $9M supporting Lisa Murkowski over Kelly Tshibaka in Alaska, arguing the money should go to Blake Masters instead. The post combines intra-party grievance with strategic critique.

Authorship

Posted at ~5:24 PM ET (Trump was likely at Mar-a-Lago or in the Arizona/rally circuit area given the Mesa rally context). The post has authentic markers: the nickname "Old Broken Crow," the parenthetical "(barely!)," stream-of-consciousness run-on sentence structure, and emotional editorializing. Minor grammatical issues (comma splices, awkward "that with this money would beat"). The closing "Isn't it ironic?" is a characteristic Trump rhetorical flourish.

Psychological Dynamics

This is a classic narcissistic injury response—McConnell is directing resources against a Trump-endorsed candidate, which Trump experiences as a personal betrayal and challenge to his authority within the party. The post reveals the power struggle between Trump and McConnell for control of the Republican Party apparatus.

Defense Mechanisms

Splitting: Murkowski is "horrendously bad," Tshibaka is "great"
Devaluation: McConnell reduced to "Old Broken Crow" (a recurring dehumanizing nickname)
Projection: Frames McConnell as irrational/destructive while Trump positions himself as the strategic thinker

Rhetorical Techniques

The post uses false strategic framing—presenting a complex intra-party power struggle as simple resource misallocation. The parenthetical "(barely!)" questions Murkowski's Republican identity, a loyalty-purity test.

Cognitive Notes

The sentence structure is characteristically tangled ("that with this money would beat their Democrat opponent") but consistent with Trump's baseline spoken/written style rather than indicating decline.
